Yeah, I don't know what's going on. It was like the swich got stuck in the off position, but they work fine now I'm just a little gun shy. I've had one hanging with the magnet out all night and when I get home I'm goijg to check the "dead dog" feature theory.

Not sure I would want a collar with a "dead dog" feature.

Well I left the damn thing on for 24 hours with out moving it and it never did shut off. I don't know what the guy was talking about, but looking back it seems to me the switches got stuck in the off position for some reason. I'm not giving up on the collars, I do like them, but you can bet I'll be checking them before I turn out any dogs. I love the weight on these collars and I can pinpoint a dog's location better than others I've tried (Johnson and Magnum).

quicktrak collars yeah they beep, I don't think there all that great, have a few flaws imo, ones the attennea but we won't get any further on that....but make sure you always check to see that there on before you turn a dog out, just pulling the magnet doesn't always turn one on, sometimes a switch might stick a little bit.

i need to send mine in i dont think mine is the switch getting stuck maybe though but why would it make the box go all crazy then stop then go back to regular beeps, when it goes back to beeps its fine but then it will go back to screeching and i get alot of static then nothin so then i turn off the box wait and it will be fine i checked on two other boxes to make sure my box wasnt going to crap already and it did it to the other boxes to so i dont know one box was a trx 10 and the other was a icom so it has to be the collar. does anyone know if gary trades used collars for used collars??
i really liked that collar it was strong and i could locate them real easy with it. kinda sucks the collars are only maybe a year old and i used that one collar for the last part of cat season last year.

I sent mine back last week. They left me stranded again two weekends ago. I had 3 collared dogs out and only 1 collar was working. I was praying they were all together and luckily they were. After I gathered the dogs up I was able to get one of the collars to come back on, but the other would not. They seemed more than happy to help so at least their customer service is good. I wouldn't trade my Quick Track receiver for anything, but not so sure about the collars now. We'll see how the replacements work. I'll give them 1 more chance.
